My memory is blurry but they first lost .ml domain and an instance along it. Then after like idk, 1-2 months they created a new instance being under I think lemmy.fmhy.net domain but it got soon taken down because there was only 1 person maintaining everything. In discussions with them (singular) back then I also learned that they were having a loooot issues with weird recurring errors that other instances weren't having and they were overall tired. The "owner" of the group was also at the time very sad and pessimistic about the events relating to the project apologising to everyone and it was hard for me to convince them that it's not their fault and such and that I don't blame them. I assume they were struggling with something but don't remember the specifics. Back to the sole maintainer of the instance, they also quit (or were kicked?) from the discord server over some drama a few months after the closure of the second attempt at instance. I don't know the specifics of drama because it was some time after I quit and only heard stuff second hand. FMHY situation was a death by 1000 cuts. If something could go wrong it went wrong and it all happened in early lemmy days where things were still quite buggy.
